Abstract


Information scientists around the globe have made tremendous progress in 
understanding how scientists and engineers find and use information by 
through the use of a wide variety of survey instruments. Librarians and 
publishers increasingly turn to the data generated by these instruments 
in an effort to design and implement information products and services 
that the scientific community needs and desires. Three researchers 
experienced in studying the information seeking behavior of academics 
will describe their current investigations distinguishing between the 
survey mechanisms found to be effective or ineffective. Discussion will 
be led and provoked by the moderator and reactor who both have 
experience providing library services to this community. The last third 
of the session will be an open discussion soliciting comments and 
questions about trends, survey design, and survey experiences.
